Chapter 8: Telling the Rest of the World
Later on when Jude and Tommy woke up they tiptoed downstairs into the kitchen. When they got into the kitchen there was a note from her mother, and Don.
Jude and Sadie:
We went out for a little while, will be back later on tonight.
Love:
Mom and Don
Jude looked at the note and she tossed it in the trash. She looked at the clock she noticed that they slept for over twelve hours. It dawned upon her that they got in a few hours after sunrise and they slept until nine o'clock the next morning.
"Tommy, we slept forever." Jude said to him still a little exhausted.
"I know. It's the jet lag."
"So now that we have officially told my family we are married, we have to tell everyone else." Jude said looking in the cupboard for food.
"You do know that we could just exist and if they find out let it happen." He said kissing her on the forehead.
"Deal Quincy." Jude said. The doorbell rang and Jude went to answer it. She didn't realize that she was wearing Tommy's button down shirt.
"Jude it's been so long." Kat squealed as she hugged her.
"When did you get back?"
"About ten minutes ago, with these guys." She said and Georgia, Chaz, EJ, and Liam appeared behind her. Jude opened the door wider to let them in. "We are al working together at the new label here." Kat explained to her.
"Gottcha." Jude said.
"Hey who was at the door?" Tommy yelled and he came into the same room as Jude only with a pair of pajama pants on.
"Are we interrupting?" EJ asked. She had a pleased look on her face.
"Nope why do you ask?" Jude said.
"So, I just saw you both seven months ago, your both up to something." Chaz said. "So who am I asking first?"
"Do you really want to know?" Tommy asked. They all nodded their heads.
Jude looked at Tommy and they both smiled. "We got married." Jude said. Everyone had weird looks on their face. Jude and Tommy both just waved it off.
"Married? You both left Thailand without rings on." Chaz said.
"Two months ago." Jude told him.
"Unbelievable." Chaz said.
"Well, it's about damn time." EJ, Georgia and Liam said in unison.
"Took you long enough." Kat said.
"You expected this didn't you?" Tommy and Jude asked in unison.
"Hell yeah." EJ said.
"You have to be kidding?" Jude asked.
"Nope." EJ said. Jude gave her a look. "See, you both had amazing chemistry with music and the way you both looked one another it was destiny."
"EJ you are so dead." Jude told her.
"I can't help it." She told them.
"Liam, you even expected this?" Tommy asked surprised.
"Yes, I did. So did Darius. We both waited to see how long it was going to take." He told them.
"Damn," was all Tommy could say. Tommy couldn't believe that everyone knew this was going to happen. Neither could Jude.
"So, why are you all here?" Jude asked them.
"Well see, I am running the new label, Slide Records. Chaz is managing all of the artists, Kat and Jamie are new music scouts, and Sadie is the secretary, Kwest is an engineer/producer, and I was hoping that both of you would accept the offers of producer, and producer/artist." Georgia said.
"Done." Jude and Tommy both said in unison.
"We'll leave you to whatever you both were doing." EJ said as she pushed everyone out of the door.
Jude walked over to the couch and plopped down. She let out a sigh a relief because they were gone. Tommy came and sat down next to her. She just looked at him, and he looked back.
"That was weird." Jude finally said to him.
"Very" was all Tommy said in reply.
"If we are married, where are we living?" Jude asked curiously.
"Well not here. Not my place."
"Why?"
"Only one bedroom, and a built in recording studio."
"Right, so I guess we need to house hunt." Jude said.
"I guess so."
Jude got up off of the couch and she went upstairs to get dressed. She came back down and Tommy was cooking breakfast. He was making scrambled cheese eggs and sausage, Jude's favorite. When they finished eating Tommy went upstairs and got dressed and then they left for a day of house hunting.
